My friend got HIV, what should I do?

Just continue doing what you are doing just now. You sound like the type of friend who is a friend worth having.
HIV is a terrible disease, and your friend will need all the real friends he can get.

In my opinion your a real mate sticking around for your friend when he needs you. I don't actually no anyone that has the disease but I'd say it's taking an emotional toll on you to.

I'm not sure of your relationship with your friend i.e how close you were as friends but I'm positive it hurts to see your once lively friend fading away.

Theres not much more you can do but be a true friend and see it through to the end when you day comes you can be sure your friend will remember you.

I wish you the best of luck Tank and give your friend my best also, hope he doesn't suffer to much..

Benig with your friend is the absolute best thing you can do for him. If his other "friends" left him then they arent really friends. You are a true friend and should just try your hardest to ease his suffering. Good luck and i hope you realize how great a friend you are.

Just don't leave him. I think it is already appreciated by your friend just knowing that you didn't abandon him. Secondly, just pray for him. I think prayer is the best you can also do for him. This is only my opinion. Happy myloting.

Its a very difficult situation for both of you, but as they say, you can only find true friends in difficult situations. Your friend needs all the support he can get, keep it up. Cheers!

Hi,now a days hiv is a disease which we can't fear or go to depression.As far as we are maintaining virus CD count under control,we can live happily years together than attacking cancer,heart attacks and diabetic...in later stages.Healthy food,no mental tension and dose of ritro viral drugs recommended by doctor are the solutions for this hiv.Even people are living happily with AIDS which is a later stage of hiv.
All this why i am telling you because you do continue the friendship as usual and give moral support by saying all this info.You are doing good to your friend.All the best and have a nice time.

You're friend is so lucky to have you. Dont listen to anybody they just didnt understand the feeling of being sick. Your friend needs all the support that he can get so that he will have courage to survive and accept what happened to him. Understand him but always use safety precautions but make it sure that he will doesnt notice it.

From what I've seen, sympathy just makes people cave in on themselves. What happened to your friend is horrible, but if I were in your position, I'd do my best to treat him as though he were perfectly healthy. If he wants to feel sorry for himself, make him snap out of it. He'll be much happier if he lives life not as an HIV patient, but as a perfectly normal person. Sure, he will never be able to live completely normally, but don't let him slip into self-pity.

hi fulltank, sorry to hear your friend's situation. i think at this moment he needs your comfort and careness to him. a friend indeed is a friend in need. the people left him seem to be a little bit selfish. you would not effected by hiv when you visit him. you may visit him sometime but with necessary protection to yourself. hope your friend getting well.

Keep contact with your friend and never leave him alone. Imagine if you in his position and all your lovely people leave you and don't want to make a friendship with you. It is very sad, right? You should be always be his best friend. Keep supporting him and never let him down. I think its okay near with the HIV person. You only need to do is take care of yourself when around him.
